Denver PAL 52 mins
Live - The Garage, Denver 11/10/89 52m EX Private
Looks like a master or 1st generation copy as it's excellent picture. Filmed in various places and starts at the front left hand side next to the stage. Moves
To other side and centre and back to the original position of the front left hand side. Good steady filming all round with good close shots. Lighting OK and just a little dark occasionally but you can see what is going on.
Very little obstruction with pretty good sound, vocals a little low sometimes. The play the unreleased song 'Token Eastern Song' Cut on beginning/end of one song. Nice show.
Utrecht PAL 52 mins
Live - Tivoli, Utrecht 03/11/89 52m EX Private
Shot from a balcony at the back of the venue. There are no obstructions and there are good shots of the band members. The picture and audio are fairly clear but do appear to suffer from generation loss.

Linz PAL 62 mins
Live - Kapu, Linz 20/11/89 62m EX Private
Shot from an elevated position at the back of what appears to be a very small venue. There are heads in the way of band members below waist height due to the audience being virtually on the stage. The club is well lit which allows for excellent views of the band as well as very good clear close ups. The picture quality is also of very good quality, the audio is however a little thin but still of good quality.

Rock Babylon 1990-98 69m EX VHS
This came from a guy who got it from the person who filmed it so it's a 2nd generation copy so excellent quality. Filmed from the side stage on the left next to Chris. Very close and good steady filming. Over driven bass for the first part of the show but never un-listen-able and it gets much better. Not many shows from end 1990, different set list, lighting is good.

Dallas PAL 76 mins
Live - Trees Club, Dallas 19/10/91 76m EX Private
Looks like a master copy. Shot from the back of the stage next to Dave Groul and behind Kris. Great close shots and the show is complete chaos with at one time a fight breaks out between Kurt and the bouncer. The sound of the vocals seem to go low after this fight and come back a little towards the end of the show. Nice quality show but better shows from this era.
Seattle PAL 55 mins
Live - Paramount Theatre, Seattle 31/10/91 55m M DVD

The Paramount concert, transferred from 16mm film and multi-track audio, is the only known Nirvana concert to be shot on film.
London PAL 73 mins
Live - Astoria Theatre, London 05/11/91 73m EX VHS
Looks like a 1st generation as it's an excellent picture. This is the close version and is filmed on the right hand side from the balcony. Pretty steady filming although mainly focused on Kurt, there is shots of Chris but not much on Dave as it's fairly dark above the drums.
Lighting is fairly good with the sound OK and listen-able but a little distortion at times a pretty average show
